I am loving Jeffrey Campbell studded wedges so much, but the price tag that goes along with them? Out of reach. So, I have decided to try and re-create my own version of the studded shoes.
I started with an older pair of wedges from Aldo (which actually, I purchased a second pair the following year at a super discounted price because I had loved them so much the year earlier - and they still had my size, rare and amazing) with a hemp/espadrille base (cork would work too).
{ I needed 500 push pins }
{ start with the bottom row and push the pins into the wedge along the sole }
{ second row of pins fit in between the first row }
{ thumbs are getting sore at this point }
{ ta-dah! }
* Sorry for the crappy quality pictures.
